Simply put, I doubt it will work. You can't use everything because the bends in the hard lines won't fit the older style body. I don't think you can use parts from both trucks to make it all work, because I think the newer truck has all metric threaded fittings.

I'm going to attempt a similar swap so I started another thread instead of hijacking yours. Hopefully we can figure this out.
